We've already tried Sam Smith's Imperial Stout with Roquefort (our thoughts on that to follow in a later post) but will also try a barley wine or two; Guinness FES; and some very big IPAs. Harvey's Imperial Stout was a bit much over-the-top for us on its own, but maybe with cheese, it would find some balance...? Thanks for the tips, everyone.

I don't recommend beer and cider on the same evening though! On the cheeses front Sainsbury's unpasteurised Gruyere is fantastic. And Lidl's Gorgonzola, eaten whilst still fresh and extra creamy!

Imperial Stout would be good, Belgian Double perhaps , Barley Wine or Old Ale. I reckon Harvey's Imperial Stout with all its bretty funkyness would be heaven. I have been writing a Beer Cheese matching column for S.O.B.A.'s In Pursuit of Hoppyness (our Whats Brewing you might say) I'm currently working on Strong Blues with Barley Wine.

Thinking of the traditional pub lunch - the "ploughman's" - it was (is) always a good mix of tastes to be washed down with whatever bitter was available! I guess large lumps of bread modify everything, but thinking about it, I always preferred sweetish stouts - or cider. Now off to buy a huge selection of cheeses and porters!

Really interesting to see how those beers worked, I'm pleasantly surprised by the results with the Pilsener Urquell! Roquefort is a great cheese beer, I like it with imperial stouts (Sam Smith is good, or the Paradox's) or earthy IPAs (Meantime's is great and a big bottle to share with a platter of cheeses makes a very fine dinner!) and dark belgian or belgian-style beers too (I had Thornbridge Handel with blue cheese last week and it was superb). I'm hungry for cheese now!! Cheese and beer is my favourite. Really interesting to see how those beers worked, I’m pleasantly surprised by the results with the Pilsener Urquell!
